Missing Game of Thrones? You're not alone. A few weeks on from the end and all we want to do is watch Game of Thrones online. Luckily, no matter where you are, there is still time to catch the entirety of season 8 - whether you've already watched it or have only just got around to starting it.

Whether you're just starting season 8, gearing up for the epic finale or even half-way through season 3 (come on, the shows been out for years!) we can tell you there is a lot of drama to come. Considering just how much the creators of the show have (controversially) crammed into one season, it does seem like the action never really stops.

Plus, with a Game of Thrones prequel on the way in 2020, it's still well worth catching up on all that action before it airs next year.

Game of Thrones season 8: when and where to watch?

Well that's it, the whole show has now aired. While Game of Thrones has now come to a dramatic end, that doesn't mean you can no longer watch it.

You can see a thorough list of viewing options in several countries and discover how to watch the whole season below.

If you're not caught up yet, what have you been doing?! We can only assume you were in a country with a painfully early viewing time when it aired live. But don't worry, you can now watch the whole of Game of Thrones online.

Luckily, now with the entire show live you don't have to worry about those pesky time zones any more. All you need to do is find out what streaming service has your country's GoT fix, you can see a full list below.

Or if you've watched the whole show and are still craving that Game of Thrones action, there is still the brilliant Game of Thrones: The Last Watch - a documentary about season 8. You can find details about this below as well.

So if you’ve got everything ready for the new episode this weekend (Arya fan t-shirts and Wildling fur coats are essential) and just lack the streaming service and time, you can find everything you need to know about how to watch Game of Thrones online on this page.

Watch Game of Thrones online: stream outside your country

Want to watch Game of Thrones online in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or India? We've found all of your best options and listed them below.

But, if you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstances where you've booked a holiday now when you want to watch it, then things get a bit more difficult. For those unlucky fans, all hope isn't lost yet. You will find that watching Game of Thrones won't be an option thanks to geo-blocking. This means that broadcasters do tend to try and stop you from watching in other countries, putting up some virtual roadblocks.

Don't fret, you'll still be able to watch the show, it just gets a little bit harder. By using a VPN, you will still be able to catch the show by changing your IP address to a location back where you live, allowing you to watch it all (assuming that doesn't breach any TS&Cs, of course).

We've tested hundreds of VPNs and can recommend these as the three best VPN options currently available:

1. Express VPN (comes with a 30 day money back guarantee)
This is the #1 rated best VPN in the world right now thanks to its speed, security and ease-of-use. You can watch on many devices at once including Smart TVs, Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, iPhone, Android phone, iPads, tablets etc. Check out Express VPN and get 3 months FREE with an annual plan2. NordVPN: SmartPlay tech makes NordVPN a great, affordable choice for streaming3. IPVanish supports up to 10 devices, so great on the go and with a focus on security

Watch Game of Thrones online in the USA

Well there really is no surprise here, if you're in the US then HBO will be the go-to place for everything Game of Thrones. Unfortunately, it is also no surprise that this means you will have to sign up to a HBO subscription to watch the show.

HBO offers a few packages, all of which are pretty flexible. That means you can sign up for one month, finish the show and then cancel if needs be. Not to mention, HBO offers free trials on all of its packages, which helps soften the blow. Prices start at $14.99 a month with HBO and go up depending on which package you choose.

Watch Game of Thrones online in the UK FREE

Some bad news for fans in the UK, it just got a lot harder to watch Game of Thrones online. As of June 18, the show is no longer available on either Sky Atlantic or NowTV - the two main platforms it was streaming on.

However, that doesn't mean you can no longer watch it. You can now buy episodes off Amazon Prime or the Google Play Store. But there is currently no UK streaming service for the show.

And if you're out of the UK and still want to watch shows on the likes of Amazon, then you'll need to download and install a VPN as described above.

Watch Game of Thrones online in Canada

If you're in Canada trying to watch Game of Thrones online then you're in luck as Crave has the whole season available on catch up no matter where you are.

And if you haven't yet been able to watch this season, the episodes are now available to watch on catch-up with Crave.

You can pay for Crave on a monthly basis or get an annual subscription. Unlike HBO, Crave doesn't seem to do trials but if you do pay for a subscription, they will throw in one free month.

Prices vary for Crave but you can get packages including HBO from around $20 for the month.

Watch Game of Thrones online in Australia

If you're trying to catch any of this season in Australia, there are only two options for you, and that's either signing up to Foxtel's cable service or the company's streaming service, Foxtel Now. All episodes are now available to watch on Foxtel.

Like all of the streaming services above, you will have to pay to get a subscription and there are a host of different packages available, but Foxtel Now offers a free 10-day trial if you haven't already signed up.

Watch Game of Thrones online in New Zealand

For those in New Zealand there really only is one option for season 8 and that's SoHo. The Sky premium entertainment channel will be the place to find season 8. All the six episodes are now available for catch up on the site.

Unfortunately, SoHo doesn't do trial subscriptions. So if you don't already have it you'll have to dive on in on a TV package or upgrade your current one to a plan with SoHo.

Packages including SoHo start as low as $24.91 a month and go up from there depending on how much you decide to include.

Watch Game of Thrones online in India

For fans in India you're in luck, when it comes to watching Game of Thrones online, India has the cheapest option. Simply log onto Hotstar and sign up for a premium account. This will cost you either ₹299 ($3) for a month or ₹999 ($14) for an entire year.

How to watch seasons 1-7 of Game of Thrones online

If you're not the keenest of fans, you could always start from the beginning and work your way through to the end of season 8 in your own time.

Luckily, most of the streaming services above offer seasons 1-7 of the show, that means you can watch all of the old episodes and then smoothly move into the new season. Below we've listed each country with all of the different viewing platforms for the old seasons:

US: The US has a tonne of options when it comes to the old seasons with: HBO GO, HBO Amazon channel, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play Store, Microsoft Store.

UK: The UK has tonnes of options for viewing the old seasons but sadly the best two options: NowTV and Sky have now taken the old seasons down. Now the options you can use include Amazon Prime, iTunes, Sky Store, PlayStation, Microsoft Store, Chili, TalkTalk TV or the Google Play Store.

Canada: The options in Canada are a bit more limited, choose between: Crave Plus, iTunes, PlayStation, Microsoft Store or Google Play Store.

Australia: Pretty similar to Canada, choose between Foxtel Now, iTunes, Microsoft Store, PlayStation or the Google Play Store.

New Zealand: SoHo...yep that is pretty much your only option in New Zealand. But if you want to watch the new season you might as well watch the whole show right?

India: Just Hotstar, but when its so cheap, do you really need to shop around?

Elsewhere: Live somewhere not on this list? Try giving a VPN a try and connecting to one of the countries below with plenty of options for watching the show.
